RICK JAMES BIO and PRYOR CONVECTIONS

Does anyone know about the Rick James Bio being done? I heard Dave Chapple was gonna do it which I think is a bad idea...The person born to play him is Terrence Howard! Whats the word on pryor Convections? Is it still being done with Mike Epps?

jermainebailey,
Chappel did a decent comedic bit on Rick James but dont get him for the Rick James bio........that would be a waste of film......at least Jamie Foxx was a real pianist an did a realistic great version of Ray

I tell you what, anyone that can play Richard Pryor and pull it off - get the stroll down, the facial expressions down, the impersonations down, the tonality down, everything down - for the length of the movie - deserves a lifetime achievement Oscar because that will be the finest performance in cinema history.
